I'm right at the begining of the process of moving to NZ, but have wanted to do this for many years. I have just completed my application for professional registration (I'm a midwife) and hope to move over with my partner and youngst child who is 9; thinking about Jan 2013 for the sart of the school year.

I've had a bit of a look around the forum and have already gathered alot of usefull information.

I look forward to talking to you all in the months to come,

Hi

I'm a UK midwife, came over 18 months ago and working here in Auckland (although Ive also worked in a couple of other places since coming over)

Give me a shout if you need any help/info.

Thanks for the welcomes, not too sure where in NZ yet, depends on where the jobs are. Do know I want to be on the North Island, somewhere away from the big cities but somewhere with schools and hospitals.

Hi Lisamct, think we've already chatted elsewhere, the elephant's a give-away! I'm still using pink in my name

Hello and a big welcome to the New Zealand section of BE from the Consierge in Spain.

You will find excellent information in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

BE Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font. Also there are Consierges who can support and guide you.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

I was added to the NZ register of Midwives today, one step closer

how long did that take pinkone??

Congratulations by the way

took me 2 months but thats because I spent just over 1 month on my competency document. I would say that if you have all the paperwork to hand and write your competency doc quickly you could be done in a couple of weeks.
